This is a comprehensive thought-provoking guide to the fascinating world of symbols.
Just as we dream every night without always being aware of it, so our waking life is full of symbolism that operates on an unconscious level. This dictionary draws on the collective wisdom of the great psychologists, particularly Jung, to decode the secret language of symbols. The main characteristics that recur in all symbolic material are revealed, and we are shown how to become aware of the patterns and processes at work in our minds and so explore, develop and tranform ourselves.

Drawn from the collective wisdom of the great psychologists, particularly Jung, this comprehensive, fascinating and revealing guide decodes the language of symbols. Tom Chetwynd describes the major characteristics that recur in all symbolic material and shows how identifying them can help us to recognize the patterns and processes at work in their own minds, and so explore, develop and transform ourselves.
